OBJECTIVE: To examine whether or not estrogens induced the expression of protein thiol/disulfide oxidoreductases such as protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), thioredoxin (Trx), Trx reductase, and glutaredoxin (Grx) in vascular endothelial cells. METHODS: The regenerative effects of the protein thiol/disulfide oxidoreductases, PDI, Trx and Grx, on oxidatively damaged proteins were assayed using H2O2-inactivated glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) as a reporter enzyme. The induction of protein thiol/disulfide oxidoreductases and the accumulation of protein adducts generated by lipid peroxidation were examined by Western blotting in estrogen-treated bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs). RESULTS: Reduced PDI, Trx and Grx regenerated the H2O2-inactivated GAPDH in vitro. The levels of these protein disulfide oxidoreductases in BAECs were increased by pretreatment with 0.01-10 micromol/l 17beta-estradiol, the largest increase (about fourfold of the control) being found for PDI. Other sex hormones such as progesterone and testosterone did not affect the contents of these oxidoreductases in BAECs. 4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE)-protein adducts, which are generated by lipid peroxidation, were accumulated in BAECs exposed to paraquat, whereas the pretreatment of BAECs with 17beta-estradiol suppressed their accumulation. CONCLUSIONS: The estrogen-mediated induction of the protein thiol/disulfide oxidoreductases such as PDI, Trx, Trx reductase and Grx suggested a possible involvement of these oxidoreductases in the antioxidant protection of estrogen observed in the vascular system.
